LISA SEDLARWe’re shaking up our famed kombucha daiquiris for the ex–New Seasons CEO, who left to start her own local grocery chain. Reports suggest that Green Zebra’s enviro-conscious new spin on ye olde convenience store, debuting with two east-side locations, won’t sell cigs or 40-ouncers. Even so—congratulations, Lisa!

ALLISON FURLOTTIThis young artist (and heiress) became one of Portland’s biggest creative benefactors by giving more than $100,000 to artists associated with North Portland’s Falcon Arts Community last year. Now she’s channeling more cash through PICA and a Warhol Foundation project, seriously boosting Portland’s national art-world bona fides. Love the Medici model, Allison.
